Wimbledon 2025: Prize money pool hits record high; All you need to know

Wimbledon has announced a record-breaking prize money pool of 53.5 million pounds ($73 million) for 2025, with singles champions set to receive three million pounds ($4 million) each, representing a 7% increase from last year and double the amount from a decade ago.

The winners' prize money shows an 11.1% increase compared to the previous year, responding to growing player demands for larger shares of Grand Slam profits. First-round losers in singles matches will receive 66,000 pounds, marking a 10% year-on-year increase.

"We're immensely proud of the fact that if you look back 10 years, you can see the increase over that period and 7% this year. And we have listened to the players, we have engaged with the players," said All England chair Deborah Jevans. "The focus on just the prize money at four events, the Grand Slams, does not get to the heart of what the challenge is for tennis," Jevans explained.


"The challenge with tennis is the fact that the players don't have an offseason which they want, they have increasing injuries that they're speaking about, and we've always said that we as Wimbledon are willing to engage and talk with the tours to try and find solutions, and that door remains open."

The total prize money represents an increase of 3.5 million pounds ($6.8 million) from the previous year. The tournament, scheduled to run from June 30 to July 13, will introduce a significant change in officiating.



For the first time in the tournament's history, electronic line-calling will replace traditional line judges at the oldest Grand Slam event.
